ELKS HAVE
Under the immediate command of
Jim Palumbo, the Elks Club of Pay
ette County gave a big banquet and
general good time festival at the
Odd Fellows building in Payette
last Friday. The Elks of this city
and county have a reputation for
doing things in grand style but this
affair broke all records both in num
ber of persons attending, there be
ing about two hundred, and in the
multitude and character of the en
tertainment. The meeting was in-;
formal, like all Elks meetings are,
and the effect on the people of this
vicinity in bringing about a closer
relationship and uniting of inter
ests cannot be calculated. "Hello
Bill" was much in evidence and this
paper applauds the sentiment ex
pressed in the greeting. Good fel -
lowship, Unostentatious, Benevolence
and a normal, healthy desire for
harmless fun are the salient features
of the organization giving this en
ertainment and the representative of
BIG BLOW-OUT
this paper feels honored in being a
guest at a celebration where he
could mingle with men is such high
character as the membership of the
Elks consists and enjoy their hospi-]a
tality. ;
Caldwell, Nampa, Boise, and On- J
tario sent large delegations to this
entertainment and everybody was j
made to fee! at home and to realize;
that the Elks are a National organi -1
zation and that one is an Elk in a
strange city as well as in the vicin- j
ity of his home.
The White Lunch
served thei
dinner and Lou Feldscher was voted '
a place in the list of the world's ;
most famous chefs. Mr. Palumbo
sprang a pleasant surprise in having ;
included strawberry short cake, with
strawberries from Florida, as one ol
the entries in the formidable menu. !
For the sake of our readers, we will |
not give the entire menu, as we do \
not wish them to suffer from un
apeased hunger.
Mr. Austin Anson acted as toast
master and General Patch gave the !
address of welcome. Mr. Aden Hyde j
answered the address and extolled
the virtue of Caldwell, his home city j
John Helman was called back af- ;
ter his first song ill unfcr to give or. *
encore and after he finished Dr. Cole !
gave a short talk on "Just for Fun.''!
Mr. James Smith then sang two j
songs and after he finished Mr. :
Ralph Brashears of Nampa, spoke !
ou "What it Means to be an Elk" I
and showed the spirit of patriotism
that dominates this order. Mr. Al- j
Quast then brought sighs to every 1
breast by a touching rendition of !
that famous
Evening Mail". As a final speech
Mr. Eustice of Caldwell spoke of the !
aims and works of the Caldwell
Lodge of Elks which was followed !
by a song by the Quast Brothers. If
Ain't Going to Rain No More". The \
next event was a series of boxing
bouts, referreed by B. A. McDevitt, I
and full of action. The boxers were, .
Senkbeil and Tatterson. Thode and i
Graham, Barren and Forbes and '
Bash and Reimers. All the bouts were !
full of good clean action and tile !
boys certainly show unusual profl
ciency in the manly art. After the,

CHEER OP-SHE'S
Indications now point to some
change in the program of farm pro
ducts, a more diversified crop, and
more intense farming, quite a few
are coming back to the planting of
eanteloupes. Twenty years ago the
Payette Valley was made famous by
the unexcelled quality of eanteloupes
and many thousands of dollars wera't
received by the growers. They didn't!
all make big money, but the earlier
and more favorable sections gener-.
ally made good. It was early money!
and usually a sure thing. The cante-;
loupe market is greatly increased
and there is no reason why this val
ley should not supply its share of the
demand. The growing of peas will
be fully doubled, and the acreage of
sweet corn will be three times that!
of previous years. A good acreage!
of potatoes will also be planted, sev
eral carloads of seed potatoes have!
already been contracted for. The
dairy business is doubling up fast,
and the poultry business rapidly in-!
LOOKING BETTER
creasing. The farmers who grow
alfalfa are discovering the methods,
of weevil control, and the Idaho Al
falfa Milling Co. are here to furnish
cash market.
The fruit growers can reasonably
expect a better price this year and
are preparing to grow quality that
will bring the price, the sheep busl-1
ness is good and the cattle business
is coming back to normal.
The Snake river valley is the most
productive section in the Pacific
Northwest.
Througjh unavoidable
stances that has effected every farm
ing section of the Union, we have
suffered a set-back, but a country
with the soil, climate and natural ad
vantages for good production is
bound to win.

a poultry breeder of
Nyssa, Oregon, just across the line
from Idaho .is enthusiastic about the
propects of an egg-laying contest in
Idaho. As he expresses it, "It will
place Idaho on the map to have an
egg-laying contest." Mr. Gibson will
enter one pen each of his Single!

Plymouth Rocks in the contest and
has offered to be of any help he
in the contest.
IDAHO'S EGG
LAYING CONTEST
"An egg-laying contest means ai
great deal to the production man",
says a statement from the college ot
agriculture. "It is to him just what
the poultry show is to the fancier.
It is great sport, but more than that,
it is a means by which he can get a
line on what his birds are doing. The
absolutely accurate record of his
birds, that he gets at the end of the
contest, gives him stock for breed
ing purposes. He can mate up prov
en, high producers to produce cock
erels of known ancestry. From then
0 ", he can make definite improve-!
nient.
Mr. Gibson is only one of the many
poultrymen, who are writing in, of
feting their support for the Idaho
International Egg-Laying Contest.
The continued cooperation of the
poultrymen of Idaho will assure the
success of the contest."

A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR
At this time of the year, with
budding flowers and trees bursting
into color. Nature reminds us of the
re-birth of plant life in the mysteri
ous cycle of seasons. With its win
ter rest Nature has restored itself'
and new life is everywhere abundant
Flowers and trees go far toward
making life more pleasant and pro
fitable. Nature was profuse in cov
ering the hills with trees and the
plains with verdure and flowers, bui
the ravages of time and the inroads
of civilization have caused much ot
***, u« tu
we therefore, in an effort to
beautify the eartb.—to make it morel
pleasant for our homes and for thei
homes of our children should plant
trees, shrubbery and flowers to com-.
pensate for the losses Nature has
sustained. Idaho is endowed with
great natural beauty and we must
try to keep it so. In those sections
less favored greater effort must be
put forth to add the beauty and pro
her of trees.
it is the duty of each County Su
perintendent of schools to set aside
a day in the month of April for the
planted, and it is my opinion, highly
necessary that the school grounds
throughout the State be further
beautified,
tection afforded by a greater num
planting of trees and for exercises
in the proper conservation of our
natural beauties^ This dav is called
Arbor Day, and I wish to encour
age the good people of the State
to unite in exercises and in the
planting of trees for the beautifying
of the common wealth,

given as to the care of trees so

Now, Therefore, I, C. C. Moore.
Governor of the State of Idaho, do
hereby recommend that the people
of the State of Idaho upon the day
day designated by the county super
intendent ß.a Arbor Day, assist as
far as possible in planting trees
along streams, public highways and
in school grounds, in parks and up
on their own premises, in order to
provide for the needs of future
generations.

As the trout fishing season ap
proachess we are reminded of the
spendid opportunity that might be
afforded the anglers of this terri
tory if the proper action had been
taken in stocking the Little Willow
Creek Reservoir. The matter has
been talked of. but so far as we
know there has never been any
action taken. Just why we can't
understand. Trout are being plant
ed in other places, not any more
favo rabl e than the waters of Little
44 lllow with excellent results. 54 ith
the amount of territory at the di
version, and the main reservoir,
seven miles above, and the canyon
between, there should be ample trout
fishing for the people of Payette
County where they could go and re
turn the same day. It can not be
said the altitude is too low. for there
is a few excellent trout caught every
year in the canyon below the main
storage reservoir. This should be a
matter for the Payette County Rod
and Gun club to look after. Perch
should do well in these waters. As
an example, Lake Lowell, south of
Caldwell was stocked with Perch a
few years ago with the result that
today it is the best fishing place In
southwestern Idaho.
